How is the White Card Course Delivered?

Attend just a 6-hour face-to-face course, successfully complete all components and get certified and leave with your White Card the same day.

Before attending the face-to-face White Card training session, you must complete an online reading that has been made available to you. The actual number of study hours required for each learner varies depending on the learner’s existing knowledge, skills, and experience. You will be required to complete an in-person quiz covering the pre-course reading upon your arrival on training day, as well as a language literacy and numeracy (LLN) assessment.

How is the White Card Course Structured?

We assess all learners through a combination of the following methods:

Practical Demonstrations: Correctly fitting personal protective equipment (PPE) and oral communication
Project (complete risk assessment)
Knowledge Assessment
